Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Perhaps he was in a hurry to deliver the storybook so that Ji Yuezhang, whose whereabouts were unknown, would know that he was safe.

Perhaps they were rushing on their way, as if trying to escape, and unwilling to linger any longer.

In addition, since the four main cities were already close to each other, Zhu Wu arrived in Beixuan City much earlier than expected.

This is the territory of fortune tellers. If one were to pretend to be a fortune teller from the martial arts world, it might attract the attention of fellow disciples. After arriving in Beixuan City, Zhu Wuyao put away that set of clothes.

He disguised himself as a blind swordsman.

She disguised herself as a divination cultivator at Qingyun Sect and as a sword cultivator near Zhaixing Tower; this was the benefit of working part-time.

She had only been in Beixuan City for a short time, and before she could even revisit the place, she noticed Tang Xin by the roadside.

She had some impression of this fellow student, but it wasn't a deep one.

She was a girl who didn't like to show off and had a very low profile. In my memory, she didn't like to form cliques, and she never echoed or sang along with the topics that others were discussing, but she also never raised any sharp objections.

He always silently and gently persisted in his own views.

Compared to those who stir up trouble and unconventional eccentrics, fate did not favor Tang Xin much. She had no extraordinary encounters, and such a person was hard to attract attention.

Even after becoming a direct disciple of the Star-Picking Pavilion, she remained gentle and cautious in the face of the overwhelming flattery and praise, allowing her life to return to normal.

But her caution and gentleness were insufficient to deal with the slander from others.

She did nothing wrong, but possessing a treasure is a crime.

When Zhu Wuyao impersonated a reclusive master in the secret realm, he overheard Yi Tian and the others' attitude towards her and always wanted to seize upon her flaws to remove her from her position as a personal disciple and replace her.

Fortunately, Sect Leader Fang, Gu Yiguan, and others saw things clearly and always protected her when they had the ability.

"Grandma, could you please serve me another bowl of hot soup?"

After saying this while holding up the bowl, Tang Xin seemed to sense the divine sense falling on him. He looked around but found nothing.

Not far away, Zhu Wuyao concealed himself.

She didn't know why, but she started paying attention to this fellow disciple.

Perhaps it was because it had been a long time since I had returned to the Star-Picking Tower, and seeing familiar faces made me pay more attention to them.

Tang Xin's ability in divination is that when faced with a choice, he can always choose the best option. After a slight hesitation, Zhu Wuyao concealed his aura and stepped forward.

"Fellow Daoist, are you a cultivator from the Star-Picking Tower?"

Hearing the voice, Tang Xin looked up at Zhu Wuyao, who had changed her appearance, and asked thoughtfully:

"Fellow Daoist is a sword cultivator?"

"I am indeed a cultivator from the Star-Picking Tower, but I am not proficient in divination, nor am I good at casting hexagrams for others."

Zhu Wuyao sat down opposite her and smiled:

"I did not come here to ask for divination, but rather to ask you, fellow Daoist, to help me deliver a letter to Xianhua Zhaoying Huayingting. Would that be convenient?"

After Tang Xin nodded, Zhu Wuyao immediately took out Xuan paper and ink sticks, and wrote two characters on them—

"Not dead"

In front of Tang Xin, he folded the paper and handed it over.

Once Hua Yingting received the letter, Xu San'er would know.

Although Tang Xin had no intention of investigating what was written in the letter, those two words were too eye-catching; it was hard to miss them if you glanced at them out of the corner of your eye. She smiled and took the letter, saying:

"I have never seen such a concise letter before. But since you did not leave your name, how did Senior Sister Hua know who sent the letter?"

"She is a diviner, so naturally she can tell who sent the letter."

As long as Hua Yingting sleeps with the letter in her hand, she will find out who it is without dreaming about it. However, she can always guess that the person who would deliver the letter to her to let her know that she is safe and sound is Zhu Wuyao, whom she cannot count in her dreams.

Zhu Wuyao continued:

"I also have some knowledge of divination and am good at interpreting characters. Fellow Daoist, would you like to give it a try? One divination costs one coin."

This surprised Tang Xin.

Having never met a sword cultivator before who was going to perform divination for the Star-Picking Tower, Tang Xin took it as a good-natured joke and wanted to see what kind of follow-up explanation he would have. He nodded and said, "Okay!"

After speaking, he accepted the paper and pen that Zhu Wuyao handed him.

Write down one character – "辛" (xīn).

Zhu Wuyao accepted the paper and the coin, and began to calculate using the Celestial Observation Technique.

The character 辛 (xīn) resembles a executioner's knife, symbolizing a sinner; the character 辜 (gū) was created from 辛. This suggests that Tang Xin was framed and convicted, when in fact he was innocent.

Zhu Wuyao said:

"Possessing a treasure is a crime. You hold an important position, yet you lack the wisdom and strength to protect yourself. Open and covert attacks will come one after another, making it impossible to defend against them."

Essentially, it's because the position of the Star-Picking Tower's personal disciple wasn't prepared for Tang Xin. If the power of Heaven's correction were to fall, she would eventually lose this position.

"If it's not meant to be, why force it? It might just harm you."

These words are excessively blunt.

But Tang Xin wasn't angry; instead, she was somewhat surprised. She smiled with a hint of astonishment:

"It really is very accurate, but fellow Daoist, have you forgotten that I am also a divination cultivator? Of course I know how to choose the better option."

"But... even if I will eventually lose it, at least I had it once. I'll die sooner or later anyway, I can't just kill myself now!"

These are overly simplistic and vague principles.

Zhu Wuyao's understanding of cause and effect and destiny came too late.

Especially after she learned about the layout of the Star-Picking Tower, she looked back on the past within the secret realm and realized that many of her previous good deeds might have been in vain. They might even have added variables and accelerated the arrival of the Great Tribulation.

She suddenly calmed down and smiled:

"I was narrow-minded. Fellow Daoist is absolutely right. I have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The spirit pen clamored in my consciousness:

"You didn't agree with what she said at all!"

Zhu Wuyao, too lazy to delve into these matters, replied perfunctorily:

"I have successfully completed my mission as a pawn, and now I have escaped by dying. As the saying goes, if you cannot conquer your own heart, how can you conquer the heavens?"

"Therefore, the greatest task in life is to improve oneself and mind one's own business."

"fraud!"

Since absorbing Lu Tiaotiao, the spirit pen has become noticeably more lively.

It's just that he's too closely associated with Zhu Wuyao, and he's extremely perceptive of her emotions; he understands people's hearts too well. Otherwise, he would be a good travel companion.

“It’s not good to keep calling you Spirit Pen, so how about I give you a new name?”

"In terms of age, I'm your senior, so how about I bestow upon you a courtesy name?"

"In terms of our relationship, you're like my pet."

"Hehe, I'm your savior!"

……

Since learning that Wu Guihong of the Juque Sect had disappeared without a trace and betrayed the sect, Li Fuwei of the Ink Trace Study felt that he had become more open-minded and insightful about life.

They have even made considerable progress in taming spirit beasts.

It's getting late.

Li Fuwei went to the backyard and suddenly saw a scroll of documents!

He even went so far as to use talismans to protect himself from water and fire. Li Fuwei was very cautious; he read a lot of stories, and he thought that these might be poisoned hidden weapons.

After he had handled the manuscript with utmost care, he initially thought it was a whistleblower's manuscript intended to expose the secrets of the cultivation world through "Ten Thousand Book Reviews".

Upon opening it, a line of text came into view:

"Those Years I Pretended to Be a Reclusive Master" - Written in Silence.

Thinking back on the series of actions just now, Li Fuwei was speechless.
